[The first thing you did upon returning to the sect was to ask Senior Brother Zhu about who had injured Zhuang Chengbi.]
[Senior Brother Li Zhu told you it was Zhao Taiping, the lord of the Floating Dragon Hall.]
[Three days ago, Zhuang Chengbi happened upon an artifact while outside.]
[When he wanted to return to the sect, he unexpectedly encountered Zhao Taiping, the master of the Floating Dragon Hall.]
[Zhao Taiping claimed that their Floating Dragon Hall had taken a liking to this artifact.]
[He wanted to buy it from Zhuang Chengbi for ten spirit stones, hoping Zhuang Chengbi would part with it reluctantly.]
[Faced with such shameless demands, Zhuang Chengbi naturally refused.]
[Thus, they battled over it.]
[In the end, unable to match Zhao Taiping's strength, Zhuang Chengbi was seriously injured, and had the artifact stolen from him.]
[Upon hearing this news, you couldn't contain your anger.]
[The Floating Dragon Hall is not far from the Amethyst Sky Sect and is considered a third-rate sect.]
[Usually, they rely on their size and often like to suppress the Amethyst Sky Sect. Now, they openly dare to snatch artifacts, which is simply outrageous.]
[Li Zhu said that although he's the eldest senior brother, his strength isn't up to par. So he wants to take you and Zuo Yingchun to the Floating Dragon Hall to seek justice.]
[Zuo Yingchun also went on a journey a year after you left.]
[Currently, you've been able to contact her via communication stone.]
[She's on her way back, and it will take a few more days, so she told you to wait a bit.]
[You didn't say anything.]
[Instead, you entered the room and glanced at Zhuang Chengbi. At this moment, he lay in bed, unconscious and pale.]
[You let out a sigh, quietly leaving the Amethyst Sky Sect.]
[As the saying goes, the more you endure, the more you lose; the more you retreat, the angrier you get.]
[To you, Zhuang Chengbi is not just a mentor but also family.]
[Seeing him in such a state, how could you wait any longer? You immediately went to the Floating Dragon Hall alone.]
[Slowly closing your eyes, in an instant, sword aura surged, sweeping all before it.]
[Over these years, you had already perfected the Profound Heart Sword to the pinnacle.]
[This technique was of extremely high grade. From the moment you first glimpsed its secrets, none in the same realm could match you.]
[At the pinnacle, you could effortlessly transcend realms to defeat your enemies.]
[This was also the confidence that allowed you to come here alone!]
[As disciples were being slaughtered, Zhao Taiping, the Sect Master of the Floating Dragon Hall, immediately appeared and demanded to know who you were and why you had acted this way?]
[Over these years, you had either been sleeping at the Amethyst Sky Sect or traveling and sleeping outside.]
[Therefore, Zhao Taiping did not know that you were from the Amethyst Sky Sect.]
[And with just a sentence, you made Zhao Taiping understand your identity.]
[Bring out the artifact you stole from my master, then die obediently!]
[Upon hearing these words, Zhao Taiping laughed in anger.]
[He is at the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation realm, while you are only in the mid-stage of Divine Transformation, yet you dare to speak so brazenly.]
[It's simply beyond comprehension.]
[Zhao Taiping immediately attacked you.]
[After an incense stick's worth of time, you returned to the Amethyst Sky Sect with Zhao Taiping's corpse and the flying sword artifact.]
[By this time, Li Zhu finally understood what you had done.]
[After carefully examining you and finding no injuries, Li Zhu almost began to doubt life itself.]
[To kill Zhao Taiping, the Sect Master of the Floating Dragon Hall, with your own strength.]
[This was simply unbelievable.]
[But you didn't say much about it.]
[Instead, you stayed by Zhuang Chengbi's side.]
[Two days later, Zhuang Chengbi slowly woke up.]
[Upon hearing of your actions, he laughed heartily.]
[He claimed that you were truly his disciple, showing the potential for ascension.]
[You said faintly, didn't you say cultivating Qi was good before? Now I'm ascending again?]
[Zhuang Chengbi's laughter abruptly stopped.]
[He glared at you.]
[You didn't say much either; instead, you handed the flying sword artifact to Zhuang Chengbi.]
[He slowly got up and personally fastened the sword around your waist.]
[Having been your mentor for nearly a hundred years, he felt inadequate for never giving you something decent.]
[This flying sword was originally intended as a gift for you, but it was snatched away and you had to retrieve it yourself. He hoped you wouldn't blame him.]
[As he spoke, Zhuang Chengbi showed an unusually serious expression.]
[You were deeply moved.]
[You bowed slightly, not wanting Zhuang Chengbi to see your eyes reddening with emotion.]
Ye Yu took a deep breath.
Zhuang Chengbi was truly a good person.
Throughout the entire Amethyst Sky Sect, there was only one low-grade artifact.
That was the robe Zhuang Chengbi wore.
From its worn-out state, it was evident that this robe had a long history.
After finally obtaining a mid-grade flying sword artifact, Zhuang Chengbi didn't harbor any greed. Instead, he gave it to him.
Such a mentor, even though his cultivation was not high, was worthy of being called a good teacher in the mortal world.
Comparing this to Hongluan, Ye Yu's master at the Azure Cloud Sect, she's either drinking or inevitably losing in gambling, and willingly falling into decline, even pulling her disciple into non-constructive activities every day.
Sigh.
Really, comparison is the thief of joy
[On the third day, Zuo Yingchun returned to the Amethyst Sky Sect.]
[She brought back many precious treasures from her journey.]
[Zhuang Chengbi couldn't stop smiling, praising Zuo Yingchun's thoughtfulness.]
[In response, Zuo Yingchun just shook her head slightly and said nothing.]
[Such a cold attitude didn't surprise anyone.]
[After all, they were used to her temperament.]
[Although she always seemed to keep people at a distance, her heart was good.]
[That night, Zuo Yingchun invited you to meet her at the mountaintop.]
[This puzzled you greatly, but you went to meet her as agreed.]
[At the mountaintop.]
[After you arrived, Zuo Yingchun set up two layers of soundproof barriers very cautiously.]
[Then she went straight to the point, asking you who you were in terms of being a reincarnation of an immortal.]
[Upon hearing this question, you were completely stunned.]
[What did she mean? You didn't know how to answer.]
[For a moment, you even suspected that Zuo Yingchun might have gone mad from her cultivation and lost her mind.]
[Seeing your silence, Zuo Yingchun formed an orchid finger gesture with her hands, overlapping them, poised before her.]
[Very seriously, she told you that she was the reincarnation of the Yingchun Immortal from the Heavenly Realm.]
[Which immortal are you?]
[At that moment, moonlight cascaded down, as if draping a silver veil over Zuo Yingchun.]
[She looked incredibly celestial.]
Watching this dreamlike scene, Ye Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
What the...!
So there really is such a thing as reincarnation of immortals?
But it makes sense.
Zuo Yingchun's life is simply too extraordinary.
A week for Qi cultivation, three months for Foundation Establishment, ten years for Golden Core.
Which good person's cultivation progresses at this speed?
She's more of a cheat than I am, truly enviable.
But over these years, Zuo Yingchun's breakthrough speed seems to have slowed down.
Even now, she's only at the early stage of Divine Transformation.
But even so, her cultivation speed is already unparalleled in the mortal world.
[You shook your head slightly, indicating that you are not a reincarnation of an immortal.]
[Zuo Yingchun frowned slightly.]
[Senior brother, are you still unwilling to admit it?]
